  1. Quite enjoyed this soup, the pears certainly make a difference to the flavour. I did add about 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder to the soup. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. Made this beautiful soup for a surprise birthday party for a girlfriend - 15 of us! Unusual and very pleasant combination of flavours, a very light and much enjoyed soup.

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
